CCIK seeks ban on illegal import of Iranian fruit to save Kashmir apple industry

Srinagar, Jan 04 (KNS): President CCIK Tariq Ghani Tuesday urged the GOI to ban illegal import of Iranian apple which is being imported with out any import duty.

CCIK said due to import of Iranian fruit these apples are sold at low prices as against high quality Kashmiri apple which has caused huge loss to Kashmiri apple trade.       

CCIK sought intervention of LG to safeguard the interest of fruit growers of J&K.

Ghani said it has created huge loss to local fruit growers and requests GOI to address the concern of fruit growers and traders as earliest as possible.       

CCIK also condemns inaccurate action against poor vendors of Baramulla which is a shameful act and demanded stern action against the concerned authorities. (KNS)
